PREFACE. 



In order to promote the noble cause of Physical Educa- 
tion, and particularly to enable teachers in public schools to 
conduct physical exercises systematically and effectively, I 
have arranged in this manual such portions of the German 
system of Physical Culture as pertain to what is commonly 
called Calisthenics, including exercises with wands, dumb-bells 
and Indian clubs. 

Since there is scarcely a limit to the great variety of exer- 
cises and possible combinations that may be attempted, I 
have selected only those that are the most beneficial and 
interesting to the pupils, and, at the same time, pleasing to 
the observer. 

At first, the movements are necessarily of the simplest 
kind, but gradually the difficulties are multiplied until we 
have quite complicated exercises. 

Each lesson embodies a combination of exercises that call 
into operation two or more parts of the body, thus tending to 
a unique development of the entire organism. 

Vigorous exercise stimulates and assists the action of the 
heart, and the resultant increase in the rapidity of circulation 
renders the pupil more capable of mental exertion. 

All Calisthenics can be performed in any school-room, while 
wand exercises and club-swinging can only be practiced to 
advantage in a hall or large corridor. The counts for each 
exercise are 4, 8, 16, or 32, thus being in harmony with music 
time. 

Music accompaniment greatly adds to the attractiveness of 
a lesson in Calisthenics, wand exercise or club swinging, and

should be used wherever convenient. It is better to count 
only as high as 4 or 8, and then repeat these numbers. 

The half-tone illustrations in this book have been obtained 
from photographs of pupils in the Milwaukee public schools, 
and a careful study of the pictures will eliminate whatever 
doubt may exist in the minds of teachers in regard to the 
correctness of any position. Some of the pictures are used to 
illustrate two or more exercises; therefore, only that part of 
the figure called for by the reference should be studied. 



INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 



To obtain the best results in teaching Calisthenics in the 
school-room, teachers will observe the following rules: . 

At the beginning of a lesson open the windows from above, 
but avoid all draughts, except in warm seasons. In cold 
weather close the windows immediately after the exercises. 

At least fifteen minutes every day should be devoted to 
physical exercises, the middle of the session being the most 
suitable time. 

All scholars should wear loose garments. All exercises ex- 
cept those of the trunk, must be executed vigorously and 
precisely. Be strict, do not allow pupils to stand or sit in a 
disorderly manner. Make good use of the time. Explain ex- 
ercises or positions, when necessary, in a short and precise 
manner. 

Every command is divided into two parts, the command of 
explanation and the command of execution. The command of 
explanation is pronounced slowly, that of execution briefly and 
decisively. Between the two commands make a pause suffi- 
cient to allow the pupils time to think. 

When beginning a new exercise let the scholars execute the 
different movements once, or several times by command, until 
they fully comprehend the exercise. Then give the command: 
"In succession — begin:" 

EXAMPLE. 

Place hands on hips. Place : 1. 
Straighten arms forward. Straighten: 2. 
Return on hips. Place: 3.

6 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 

Arms down: 4. 

In sucession. Begin: 1 — 4 — 8 

Beat time by clapping hands, or count, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 

While giving these commands, as in example above, exercise 
with the class; this will add to the correct execution by the 
scholars and inspire them to do as well as the teacher. 

All of the pictures illustrate combinations of two or more 
exercises. 

To avoid mistakes, it must be remembered that all simple 
exercises as practiced in the lower grades refer only to one 
part of the figure. 

It is advisable to count for an exercise only as high as 
eight and then repeat these numbers.

THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES. 

THIRTY-TWO LESSONS. 

The third grade will practice lessons 1 to 22, each lesson for a 
week, and repeat lessons 10 to 22. 

The fourth grade will practice lessons 15 to 32, each lesson 
for a week, and repeat the same lessons. 

Drill each lesson thoroughly before proceeding to the next. 

In fourth grade, breathing exercises may be added to any 
one of the lessons as the closing exercise, provided, the air is 
pure and fresh. For this purpose, pupils place hands on hips, or 
cross arms backward. Inhale through the nostrils, slowly, to the 
full capacity of the lungs. Exhale through the mouth. Indi- 
cate the length of each exercise by raising and lowering the hand 
slowly. Begin with four exercises and increase as you advance, 
to twelve. It is not necessary to practice breathing exercises 
with every lesson.

FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES. 

THIRTY-EIGHT LESSONS. 

Fifth grade will practice lessons 1 to 25, each lesson for a 
week, and repeat the same lessons, each for half a week. 

Sixth grade will practice lessons 12 to 38, each lesson for a 
week, and repeat lessons 25 to 38, each lesson about three days. 

Drill each lesson thoroughly before proceeding to the next. 

In Fifth and Sixth grades, breathing exercises, marching and 
facing (turning) may be added to any one of the lessons at the 
close. For facing and marching, pupils place hands on hips, or 
cross arms backward. For breathing exercises, see remarks of 
Fourth grade. 

In facing, we distinguish first, an eighth turn, left or right. 
Command: Half left (right), face. Second, a quarter turn left 
or right. Command: Left (right), face. Third, a half turn left 
or right. Command: Left (right) about, face. For a half turn 
we usually turn left. All facing is performed by turning on the 
left heel and slightly raising the right foot. This is accomplished 
with a jerk of the trunk. 

In marching, we distinguish, first, marching in place. Com- 
mand: Mark time, march. Second, marching forward, back- 
ward and sideways. Command: Forward — ; Backward — ; 
Sideways, left (right); march. 

It is not advisable to practice marching from place in the 
class-room. When a hall is at your disposal, it may be practiced 
in connection with a lesson in Calisthenics as a closing exercise. 

Mark time is executed by raising left and right foot forward, 
alternately, in two counts. Toes point downward, knees almost 
straight. 

To stop marching, give the command: "Attention; halt." 
The word "attention" at the left step; the word "halt" imme- 
diately after the right step and before lowering the left foot a 
second time. Then lower the left foot and close with the right. 

47 



48 PHYSICAL CULTURE. 

When the pupils are marching forward or backward, give 
the command "halt" at the right step; the pupils take an ad- 
ditional step left, and close with the right foot. 

When marching sideways left, give the command at the left 
step; when marching sideways right, at the right step. Always 
begin marching with the left foot. 

A combination of marching and facing is performed in the 
following manner: After marching in place, or from place, a 
number of counts, give the command: Left, face. Each word 
of the command at the left step. The pupils then turn on the 
ball of the right foot and continue marching. 

For fancy marches (Reigen) see School Tactics, by Wm, A. 
Stecher. Freidenker Publishing Co., Milwaukee. Wis.

DUMB-BELL EXERCISES. 

Dumb-bell exercises do not differ essentially from calisthen- 
ics, and may, therefore, in the upper grades, take the place of 
these. A few illustrations, showing dumb-bell exercises in dif- 
ferent positions, will enable you to apply dumb-bells to all les- 
sons of calisthenics arranged in this book. It is not advisable to 
introduce dumb-bells in classes lower than the fifth grade. 

Dumb-bells used in public schools should be of small size 
and weight, as a heavy apparatus interferes with a vigorous 
movement. 

DUMB-BELL EXERCISES. 

1. Raise arms forward and step position backward right 

(Fig. 105). 

2. Place hands on hips and step position sideways left 

{Fig. 110). 

3. Raise arms sideways and fencing position sideways 

right (Fig. 101). 

4. Arms to thrust and step position sideways \eit(Fig. 104). 

5. Raise arms forward upward and step position back- 

ward right (Fig. 108). 

6. Place hands on shoulders (as starting position) and 

bend knees (Fig. 109). 

7. Swing arms backward and fencing position forward 

right (Fig. 107). 

8. Raise arms sideways with placing hands on shoulders 

and straddle position sideways right (Fig 106). 

9. Raise arms sideways right and cross fencing position 

backward left (Fig. 103). 

10. Right arm upward, left hand on shoulder and cross 

fencing position backward right (Fig. 102).

INDIA.N CLUB-SWINGING. 

Of all physical exercises that are practiced in public schools, 
club-swinging is the prettiest but also the most difficult, and can 
only be practiced successfully by classes that have acquired a 
certain degree of strength and skill. This will be attained by a 
systematic instruction in calisthenics and wand exercises, as 
directed in this book. 

As a rule, club-swinging should be reserved for the eighth 
grade. If seventh grade classes excel in calisthenics and wand 
exercises arranged for this grade, they may. during the last half 
of the school year, take up the first two sets of club-swinging. 
The eighth grade will also begin with set A, and advance to set 
B, C and D. 

All lessons of a set should be practiced first separately, then 
in succession, each lesson 32 counts. To attain the best results 
in club-swinging as well as calisthenics and wand exercises, it is 
necessary to repeat and practice frequently each lesson as 
directed by the special teacher. 

Music accompaniment is desirable, and should be arranged 
for wherever possible, Clubs of the most preferable size and 
shape, as illustrated on the following pages, tend to diminish the 
difficulties of club-swinging. The clubs used for these illustra- 
tions measure 18 inches in length and 2% inches at the largest 
diameter. 



Set A. 

STARTING POSITION — Fit/. 111. 

LESSOR I. 

1. Arm circle, right arm outward. 1, 2 — 8. (Fig. 112.) 

2. Arm circle, left arm inward. 1, 2 — 8. {Fig. 112, 

the left hand club should reach as far as the right 
hand.)
